Subject: [merged mm-hotfixes-stable] zram-fix-use-after-free-in-zram_bvec_write_partial.patch removed from -mm tree
Date: Wed, 03 Jun 2026 16:26:26 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260603232626.8262B1F00893@smtp.kernel.org> (raw)


The quilt patch titled
     Subject: zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()
has been removed from the -mm tree.  Its filename was
     zram-fix-use-after-free-in-zram_bvec_write_partial.patch

This patch was dropped because it was merged into the mm-hotfixes-stable branch
of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/akpm/mm

Subject: zram: fix use-after-free in zram_bvec_write_partial()
Date: Thu, 28 May 2026 10:48:44 +0800

zram_read_page() picks the sync or async backing device read path based on
whether the parent bio is NULL.  zram_bvec_write_partial() passes its
parent bio down, so for ZRAM_WB slots the read is dispatched
asynchronously and zram_read_page() returns 0 while the bio is still in
flight.  The caller then runs memcpy_from_bvec(), zram_write_page() and
__free_page() on the buffer, leaving the async read to write into a freed
page.

zram_bvec_read_partial() was switched to NULL in commit 4e3c87b9421d
("zram: fix synchronous reads") for the same reason; the write_partial
counterpart was missed.
